Hotel Maria del Carmen — Hotel in Jalpan de Serra

We stayed here touring the Sierra Gorda missions. The missions are beautiful and this little town, Jalpan, is really a lovely town and not to be missed. The main hotel, The Mision Hotel on the Plaza is definitely beautiful, but we much preferred Maria del Carmen for the parking, pet policy (they had no problem with our 5kg Yorkie), lovely pool and wonderful staff. The rooms are split into two wings - one wing has A/C and one wing has fans. Both wings are joined by a courtyard pool and the A/C wing has a restaurant downstairs. The A/C wing rooms are very colonial and balconies overlook the town soccer field, which comes in handy during the weekly Sunday game.||||We loved the town and loved the hotel and instead of staying overnight, extended our stay to 3 nights. The staff was lovely and accommodating of our pet (who was a perfect guest, natch) and the room was always...

The only helpful friendly place in town is a tiny PIzza takeaway tucked up a side street, delicious pizzas and...

Stayed here in summer 2025 and had a great experience. The hotel is right next to the garden and across from the Mission, so the location is perfect. I stayed in a suite on the new side—great AC, comfy beds, Wi-Fi, toiletries, and breakfast included. Some rooms face the street and can be noisy during the day, but nights are quiet. Staff is friendly and there’s always someone at the front desk. Check-in/out was smooth. Pool closes at 9 p.m., and breakfast is from 8–10 a.m. The restaurant and bar close early at 4 p.m., but town is close for other options. Underground parking is a big plus....
